Israeli NGO to Youtube: Remove Arabic war propaganda   with 53 million views
   
  Mattot Arim, an Israeli peace-for-peace NGO, filed   an urgent complaint to Youtube this evening.
    in which a singer exhorts his 53 million   Arab-speaking viewers, to violence. 
   
  The video was posted last year but has many recent   views and feedbacks, apparently on the backdrop of Hamas's recent unprovoked   attack on Israel's citizenry. 
   
  The   singer exhorts, "The machine gun is ready.   Attend the shrouds, the funerals...I announce an alert with the sound of the   guns". "The time has come for a fierce   war", he sings, adding that  "the smell of gunpowder is more pleasant than   perfume". Visually,   the singer brandishes a gun and also loads a case of automatic weapons into his car.   He draws his   finger across his throat threateningly, at minute   3.50.

  The Mattot Arim complaint, shown   below, was under the category of "Hateful   or abusive content" which "Promotes hatred or violence". Only   a very short message to youtube is permitted. Our message, which was of the   maximum length, said:

"The time has come for a fierce war", he sings, adding that   "the smell of gunpowder is more pleasant than perfume". User responses urge   "liberate Jerusalem", "confront Zionists", "burn the govt", "bombing Tel-Aviv",   "against normalization", etc."
   
  The   Youtube standard automated response to the complaint was: " If   we find this content to be in violation of our Community Guidelines, we will remove it."    
  Wikihow stresses that "the   reality of the situation is that there is no reliable way to contact YouTube and   receive a response. Keep in mind that YouTube doesn't have an email address or   phone number you can use to contact them directly". However,
